For those who are not familiar with it "Dead Like Me" is a TV show produced by MGM and until recently shown on the Showtime Cable channel. Up until this last weekend Showtime has been saying that this critically acclamed show was to be renewed for a third season. This weekend it was discovered that the show was cancelled in favor of lesser shows produced in house. This is not the first time that Showtime has used this "bait and switch" tactic on its viewers. And was a brutal Christmas present to its many loyal viewers.
To try to save this show, an independent website:

Has started a petition to send a message Showtime that Dead Like Me is too good to loose. I ask anyone who believes that there is more to TV than watching people eat bugs to sign this petition:

There is also an auction on Ebay:

For a DEAD LIKE ME - Box of empty dreams
The money from the auction is to be used to help get the message across of what a great loss this program would be. If you would like to help I know it would be greatly appreciated. I don't know if the show can be saved, but I for one am tired of seeing great shows pushed aside in favor of cheaper programming aimed at the lowest common denominator of humanity.
That's my two cents.
